In order to protect the earth for future generations, Pope Francis has urged world leaders to take significant action at COP29 and emphasize the need of international cooperation.
Pope Francis has called on world leaders attending COP29 to make a meaningful and effective contribution to the protection of the environment. His remarks were made during the Angelus address, as he expressed hope that the UN climate conference will mark a decisive step in safeguarding the planet for future generations.
Reflecting on the significance of the UN climate summit, the Pope emphasised the importance of global cooperation in tackling climate change. "I hope that this summit will give an effective contribution to the safeguard of our common home," he said, calling for particular attention to be paid to the most vulnerable communities, who are disproportionately impacted by environmental degradation.
This year marks the 29th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP), the annual leadership gathering addressing global warming. The Pope's call for action at this year's summit is closely tied to his ongoing efforts to raise awareness about the ecological crisis and the ethical responsibility of humanity to protect the earth.
